Iron Man 2 remains at the top of the box office for a second week, fighting off competition from Robin Hood.

Despite mixed results for the superhero sequel fans have flocked to see Robert Downey Jr reprise the role of Tony Stark in the Jon Favreau directed movie.

And it's taken another $53 million at the box office this weekend, taking it's worldwide gross so far to $428 million.

Robin Hood, which is Russell Crowe's latest collaboration with filmmaker Ridley Scott, had to settle for second as it took just over $37 million in it's opening weekend.

The movie follows the story of an archer in the army of Richard Coeur de Lion who fights against the Norman invaders and becomes the legendary hero known as Robin Hood.

Amanda Seyfried new movie Letters to Juliet, which is her third this year, was another new entry at three, backing up the number one success she enjoyed with Dear John.

And Just Wright, which stars Queen Latifah and Common, was the third new entry inside the top five this week at four. How To Train Your Dragon dropped two places to round off the top five.
